Though Tana is an unapologetic Anglophile, she also has a passion for France. At fifteen she spent her summer studying French in Villard-de-Lans near Grenoble and fell in love with the French lifestyle. It wasn't long before she realized that her lust for Paris and Bordeaux, where Art, Wine, and Crime is set, would keep calling her back. She shares that passion and many others with her husband, Tom. When they aren't in the UK, France, or someplace else wonderful, they spend their time in Sanford, NC, and New Jersey with their amazing son, daughter-in-law, and two fabulous grandchildren.
